You may also occasionally see “GS”, meaning “goals scored” used in its place. In a football league table, GF denotes a team’s “goals for”, and this is effectively a running total throughout the season of how many times that side have found the back of the net. Whilst these acronyms may seem confusing at first, there is actually a pretty simple explanation for what they represent. If you have ever looked at a football league table, you may have noticed the columns titled GF, GA and GD, which are often directly to the right of the “losses” column of the table and prior to the points total.
